🗝️🇬🇧American Revolution Artifact from a British shipwreck! Our marine archaeologists at the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum discovered a grid iron (grill cooking grate) from a shipwreck — a 1782 British Loyalist Ship! This artifact has been on view since 2016 with many other items that were excavated from the ship (600 in all!) — a cannon, carronade, ship bell, guns, cauldrons, silverware, shoe buckles, buttons, plates, etc. Some artifacts need re-treatment to keep them in the best condition possible. This grid iron from the Wrecked! exhibit is an example of such an artifact. Our conservators have restored it with a re-treatment process several times. The Wrecked! Exhibit is on view daily in the basement of the Keepers’ House. Museum hours are 10 AM to 6 PM seven days a week.
